Mixcloud Playlist - We Gathered In Spring
This playlist consists of just over an hour of music from various beard-rock gods from Jim James to Midlake to even Thom Yorke.  It’s the perfect companion to a Spring drive with the windows down. Please enjoy.
We Gathered In Spring - March 2015 by Sean H. Campbell on Mixcloud
Here's a folky one. Colin Meloy, the lead singer and writer, studied English Lit and is obsessed with old tales of pirates and Victorian era crap... haha. He's fun.
Great chorus and song in general. I know you're note a fan of REM, but Peter Buck plays guest guitar on a lot of these songs and his influence is all over it.

Not a highly considered album by the critics, but this song sounds a lot like a classic Talking Heads song.
Excellent album.
Like these guys. Have you heard them? Sent them to me? Haha...
Jables, it's an oldie but a goodie. They absolutely nailed this cover; never would've imagined the song going in this direction.

Love this band; fun new tunes, finally.
Finally, after well over a decade, giving Idlewild a closer look. Good writing, good singing, good music.
With this new album, the hilariously named band enters my official "Favorite Band Territory." It's a wide-ranging field, but it's a special place nonetheless.
The best music curator out there lists some of the best finds of the past decade. Great list. Ahh... the memories.

Too Much Time In My Car
I've also always wanted to get one of those red-LED scrolling text tickers for my rear window. Messages could come in really handy. Things like: "Stop texting; your 2-year-old son is in the backseat." (Saw this today; at least he was in a carseat -- and so was the little boy! Wokka wokka wokka.) "There's a burning, oil-soaked rag in your open gas tank." (Who hasn't been there? [In Serbia...]) or "That's okay, I'll let you have both lanes." Things like that.
If you want an excellent power pop-rock album, look no further.
Behold the photo above. It is from Shane Carruth’s Upstream Color, my favorite movie of the year so far, which debuts today on Netflix Instant. (Advice to first-time viewers: Don’t get hung up on trying to figure out everything that happens in it. The film is best navigated intuitively, like a poem, and Carruth places enormous faith in viewers to find their own way through it.) That image—a pitcher of ice water, an empty glass, a dog-eared paperback copy of Walden, a notebook, a pen, and someone seated almost entirely offscreen—is not some random screengrab from Upstream Color. It’s an official publicity photo.Â
Now, there’s some degree of marketing strategy at play with that photo. The fact that other press kits don’t feature images of inanimate objects gives it novelty, and the film actively encourages a “What the heck was that all about?” reaction from audiences. And one of the reasons that Carruth opted to distribute the film himself was the opportunity to set expectations for something offbeat and enigmatic, rather than have a distributor pull a bait-and-switch by making the film seem more conventional and accessible than it actually is. But to me, the photo has taken on an almost totemic significance. The pitcher means something in the movie, but outside the movie, it symbolizes independent filmmaking at its essence. In addition to serving as writer, director, producer, co-editor, composer, cinematographer, and star, Carruth, the ultimate auto-didact, handled the distribution himself, premiering the film at Sundance without a For Sale sign on it and keeping his base on operations at home in Dallas.Â
“There isn’t a molecule of Hollywood that touched this,” Carruth said in a great profile for Wired magazine. If the dream of digital filmmaking was to democratize the medium—to have “some little fat girl in Ohio [become] the next Mozart,” as Francis Ford Coppola indelicately phrased it in Hearts Of Darkness—then Upstream Color is its best realization. —Scott Tobias
